I bought this car about 2 months ago and driven for less then 3000 miles I had tire blown up twice on two occasions I am wondering if it is a coincidence or others had the same problem

Firstly it would be helpful if you could fill up your profile!

Is it the same tyre that fails?
What road surfaces are you driving on?

No first the front passenger side tire went flat now the rear driver side. the first happened while driving in Atlanta I might have gone over a pot hole the recent one happened while I was passing through chattanooga on I-75 North to I-24 W

Sounds like coincidence. Are these the tires you bought with the car? If so, they could be old; even if they look good and have plenty of tread, they may have been sitting around for years.
If you’ve already replaced 2, might as well do all 4.

What are the particulars of the problem? Is it the wheels that are causing problems? Does MB have any TSB, recalls or similar to address the problems?
